Yokoke, Theresa, I looked in my dictionary and that is pretty much what I came up with. I just wondered if there was an old way of saying it. One thing I learned in Chahta language class from Abe was that there are words that are not in that dictionary that mean some of the same things that are in that dictionary. As Rusty said a nuance or more meaning to it that it says. Thanks for the help. In somethings where the original Chahta name is used I had hoped to find his name. Again Yokoke for your input.It is appreciated.
